Abstract

Background: The Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domains are crucial innate immune signaling modules. Results: The crystal structures of the TIR domains from TcpB and TIRAP reveal similar folds and distinct features. Conclusion: TcpB may mimic the function of TIRAP through their similar TIR domain structures.
